My sweet boy, Nemo, LOVES Tail Waggerz. The staff are great, and he is always excited to go to school. We started taking him when we moved back to the area in January. Prior to COVID-19, he would also be boarded there when my partner and I traveled. I know I can trust that he will be well taken care of when he stays with them. We have continued to take Nemo to Tail Waggerz a few days a week, even though my partner and I are working from home, so he can get his play on and see his friends. Nemo has the excited wiggles when he gets to go play with friends, and he loves the people and dogs he gets to play with. Highly recommend to anyone looking to socialize their doggies! read more

This is an overdue review. Brought my dog here for boarding for years. Generally nice people and good boarding setup, but after my dog nearly died after a stay, I no longer board here given how they handled a pneumonia outbreak. My dog caught pneumonia during his stay. This can happen in an open boarding situation, and he had come home with pink eye a couple times before. My issue is how it was handled. No one was told, no announcement was made. My dog became very sick, and pneumonia was not immediately diagnosed. After a number of calls and conjecture of kennel cough, I learned from a junior staff member that several dogs had caught pneumonia. Got treatment for my dog quickly, but still no announcement and claims from more senior mgmt that this was an isolated situation. Update: Do not find it right to call into question - rather, state as if fact - the reason I am eaving a review. Called because I was in a pinch, and as I noted, the concept is great and people usually nice. That said, I'd been intending to comment for some time. You may have taken my review personally, but updating from two stars to one star. Nearly losing a dog is of course traumatic, and I did not feel it was handled right. And as far as I understood, it was more than two dogs. This opinion is valid. read more

I have been with Tail Waggerz for more than 7 years I bring my first dog (a black russian terrier) there and now we have another dog (a giant schnauzer). Today i received the email that they are closing my account! I'll try to explain what happened. We had a scheduled appointment on a certain date and we forgot about it. Yes, with email reminders and text notifications, we forgot! First time in all that time we simply forgot about the appointment We show up 30 min later but we had to reschedule it. When we show up for our rescheduled appointment on time they want to charge us for the service and for not showing fees. After a long discussion they waived the fee but the next day i received the closed account email. I guess it's time to move on, good by Tail Wagers! P.S. The service wasn't that good, i was too lazy to find someone else in the area, b/c they are within walking distance from my house. Instead of de-matting they just shave. Wich is much easer and faster P.S.S. The front desk person, this is another story :)) read more

My dog, Finley, has been going to Tail Waggerz for the last 6 months and absolutely loves it there! He enjoys being able to play with the other dogs and getting lots of attention. The employees are so kind and know who he is before I even say his name. When I pick him up, they always tell me stories about the day (mostly how he never wants to come in from the outdoors when it's freezing outside)! I really appreciate have such reliable people that I can count on for dog care! Can't recommend them enough. read more

We love Tail Waggerz and so does our dog Wiggles. He is not a fan of being away from mom and dad but he loves coming to see Rose and the grooming team! the environment is low key and relaxing, usually only a couple dogs in the grooming area at a time so they aren't all put in kennels. It is very thoughtful. The team there is a part of Wiggles' care team, they let us know when his ears need extra love and they recommend great pet products. if you live in the area, this is the place to go! read more

Guys, I want to tell you a story about really bad customer support. My wife took my dog to Tail Waggers for grooming, they told her it will be short, but failed to tell her they want to do medical shave, which was not needed according to the vet. When we came to pick her up, we were in shock, how they made that decision without talking to us. I sent a text and call, the owner called me back and offer me a refund - it was 99$ so not cheap. I Waited a week, nothing happen, I sent a text again, no answer, I waited another week, nothing, I called and left a message and the day after I received an angry call from the owner " i talked to my people, they did their job, you won't get a refund, that's it, don't call or text us again" and he hang up the phone in my face Again I'm in shock, we can agree or disagree if they did something right or wrong, we can agree to disagree on a refund, but promise a refund do nothing, and call me with such anger, switching your decision and hanging up in my face is unacceptable, that's not how a business should treat customers if they want to survive. I will never go to these guys not for daycare not for grooming, I think such behavior needed harsh response from the market, I will execute such a response by telling my story and of course, never give them a dime. read more

My dog Cross loves Tailwaggerz. Most mornings he wakes us up and marches right downstairs ready to hop in the car and head to see all his friends.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. I have not written a yelp review, good or bad in a very long time. Years. However, after my labradoodle came home from getting groomed here I feel compelled as there is nothing else to be done. Our dog went in to have her body trimmed down since we are headed south for a month. My husband dropped her off in the morning and gave them instructions to trim her body short and just take a little off of the top of her head as it was a little long. He specifically said not to trim around her eyes/nose as we usually keep these areas longer and trim them ourselves. My husband--busy packing for a week long work trip (not to mention helping me his sick wife at home with our 11 week old baby)--picked her up but didn't have time to complain on the spot. When I saw her I almost cried. I was furious. Not only does she look like a schnauzer, meaning her nose has been shaved down, her face is trimmed all unevenly and blunt. Her tail looks somewhat like a French poodle's. It's horrific and we are pissed. I did call and spoke to Donna who offered to fix it if I could bring her in again. Unfortunately, hair cannot be glued back onto her face. Instead I'm having a hairdresser friend try to fix it tonight. What a disaster. Was this Simone's first time seeing a labradoodle??? Never mind giving one a haircut. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. Every time I look st her I'm saddened. Ugh. Never going back. read more

This is the worst doggy day care ever. The place smells horrible all the time as though they never clean it. The staff is exceptionally rude. And each time I went to get my dogs alls I heard was the staff yelling at the dogs to shut up. Very unprofessional and no way would I ever go back to this place. The staff also threatened my daughter. Worst place ever. Makes Toureen Pet Resort and Spa look like heaven. Beware people they arent nice like they claim to be. They dont care about the dogs, they just want the money. read more

Tail Waggerz is an awesome dog daycare and boarding place! I have a very anxious dog and historically is has been very hard for me to find a place where my dog feels comfortable and I am not worried about leaving her. Tail Waggerz has been the only place where my dog has really opened up and totally acclimated to a new place and people. I am so happy with our experience here and I really can't recommend Tail Waggerz and their wonderful team of people enough! read more

Can't speak to the services they provide but can to their customer service. Their process of becoming a client is super confusing and their website isn't helpful. Their website instructs you to call after filling out the form and the woman who picked up the phone told me she was "too busy to look, expect an email when your account is created and call back once you get it saying your account was created." I feel it would be more efficient just to put that on the website rather then get an attitude for calling. When I did call after receiving the email I was met with a prompt their not accepting new clients, confused because I wasn't told that 2 days ago and it's not on their website, I left a message. After, I received a call back that their booking out for 5 weeks, which would have been nice to know before jumping through this many hoops to even talk about getting an appointment. If I knew that first, I probably still would have booked but from the confusing experience of even getting to a point to talk about an appointment, I was uninterested in going any further with booking an appointment 5 weeks out. She then went on about a local shop closing causing scheduling issues for them and giving me advice on where else to go when I declined the appointment. I'm sure If you are a daycare and grooming client it's a convenient one stop shop for your pet. All in all, I would avoid for grooming only unless you want to jump through hoops to get an appointment just for grooming. Hopefully they can find a better way to communicate with customers or at least update their website regularly if they want to avoid being frustrated with phone calls from confused customers. read more

My wife and I have used Tail Waggerz for boarding, daycare, and grooming. In doing so, we have done thousands of dollars of business with Tail Waggerz. We have two Alaskan Klee Kai, and we are extremely satisfied with how our dogs are treated, and how wonderful it is to have cage-free boarding where our pups can interact with other dogs. Boarding & Daycare: Your dog must "pass" a trial run, meaning they don't let dogs return that don't interact well with the other dogs. Additionally, they enforce strict pick-up and drop-off hours to maintain a calm pack. Whatever the specifics, their system works. They have morning and evening drop-off hours. This does require significant planning, but the payoff is that your dog doesn't stay in an unfamiliar kennel, which can create anxiety. For boarding they do have * open* kennels for overnight use, if your dog prefers that (dogs that are kenneled at home may prefer seclusion for sleep). Our dogs come back the same way we left them. Tails wagging, tongues out, but they often sleep for hours when they return home. It's like a continuous walk... they love it and the social interaction has allowed our dogs, who are typically shy with other dogs, to become better socialized. The staff often post photos of the dogs to the company Facebook page, here: https://www.facebook.com/tailwaggerzpetcare/ I would recommend for boarding that you consider a "departure bath" as they have smelled ripe and have required a bath upon their arrival home. Grooming: The dogs smell and look great after. Enough said. We have AKK which can be very challenging in terms of energy levels and as they can be shy/standoffish with new people. This has *not* been an issue at TailWaggerz. Also, Rachel who works there, has an AKK and takes particularly good care of our pups. Boarding in the Boston area is pricey, and TailWaggerz is certainly no exception. That said, I feel like I am paying for a great service here. Highly recommended. read more

My dog has been going to tail Waggerz for years. At first for daycare every day while I worked then after I moved too far away, I still have continued to bring her for boarding when I go on trips. It's literally the only place I trust so I'm willing to drive a good distance and pay for up to a week stay rather than leave her with family or friends. My dog loves it there so much and she's not the type of dog who greets other dogs or people on the street- she is usually very skittish and fearful of people and dogs she doesn't know. But at daycare, she comes out of her shell and even plays with the big dogs (she is 14 pounds). Thank you Tail Waggerz for all you do! I just read the negative reviews on here and all of them seem to be people who are either lying or more upset about customer service than the actual care of the dogs. These people care about your dog - no doubt. Ask anyone who knows me and I am overly protective and a bit neurotic/paranoid when it comes to my dog. So the fact that I trust them speaks volumes. read more

My dog went to Tail Waggerz for a few months and we had a lovely experience with them. In the end, it was not the best fit for my dog and his needs. However, they handled that conversation with us so professionally and productively. Within his first week, every single employee knew his name and greeted him with excitement. Whenever I picked up him up and the owner was doing the pickup, she spent time letting me know how he was adjusting and how his day went, even when there was line. I know doggy daycare isn't for every dog, but Tail Waggerz is a great place for those that it is! read more

AHH! Thank goodness for Tail Waggerz. Our pups have a pretty regular routine with a dog walker during the week. But on Friday, they get an extra special treat with an outing to Tail Waggerz for daycare. The boys always come back happy and tired. Basically my favorite version of the pups after a long week at work! I was most impressed by their organization, communication via email and their active social media. It is so fun to see our dogs playing during their daily Instagram Live or through the excellent photos they post on their Facebook. Plus, its a nice way to keep an eye on the dogs to make sure they are well taken care of. Spoiler...they are! Both of our dogs have a few....quirks :)....that make them a little bit of a handful sometimes. The folks at Tail Waggerz handle them with ease and don't make us feel bad about their sometimes odd behavior. Another bonus is Tail Waggerz hours. We don't have to rush out of work to get there on time and they have Saturday hours. Love it! read more

It's been so long since I wrote a review but MAN Tail Waggerz reminded me that I need to get on the ball. Because when something is good, you should share it. And if it's PHENOMENAL then you MUST share it! I have an ol' girl, an ol anxious girl. I haven't had the need to put her into daycare or board her before so this was my first time. I asked folks at dog parks where I should take her and they could not stop raving about Tail Waggerz. Crate-free doggy daycare and boarding, grooming, a pool shaped like a bone. This place has everything that you need. I took her to daycare a couple times before boarding to get her acclimated (as best as she can acclimate, poor nervous Nelly lol) - Special diet/medicine? They can handle it - Package discounts for daycare/boarding. Definite value - A terrific bedside manner and screening process to support your dog's transition to daycare. Check - Ensuring the comfort of the dogs by having set windows of time to drop off/pick up your dog? They're on it - Dogs sleep (uncrated) with a human in the room at night. Whaaaaat (I'm pretty sure the human sleeps uncrated too) - A pure love for dogs and passion for what they do? Yes yes YES! Follow them on fb or IG; you'll get an idea of the feel. I told Rachel, the manager, that we needed to clone her and the team's DNA. There should be more people like these guys in the world--it would be a better place! read more

Update: my experience was in January 2020, well before covid and any sort of restrictions were in place.

Looking for grooming for your furry friend? Look no further! I have owned small, groomable dogs for over 30 years here in Newton and been to many Groomers but Tailwaggerz Groomers with Donna, Eve and Simone is beyond wonderful. They go over and above to make the human customers feel comfortable and the furry ones look and feel great. When I went back to get Jack the other day after his grooming, since they called and said that he was ready, he was roaming around with two other dogs who had been groomed and they were just hanging out on a big puffy bed all together. It's just so different from any other place I've ever been. It's clean and pretty and the people there are so friendly to both humans and dogs! Tell them Diane sent you! read more

Tail Waggerz Pet Care - My Jack - Pet Sitting Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

We have been taking our labrador to TailWaggerz for about 4 years and have only had positive experiences. Our dog LOVES it there - and they know dogs. I love that they allow drop off and pick up only during certain times so that the dogs are not constantly disrupted by dogs coming and going. They make sure dogs are a good fit for them. We tried other day care places before learning about Tailwaggerz, and had bad experiences at all of them. Even though I drive 20-30 minutes each way - it is so worth it knowing our dog is ecstatic to be there and will be well cared for. I'm always amazed at how little barking happens with so many dogs together. He boards there when we are away and is always well cared for. They have always gone above and beyond. read more

No, I only hung up because you were going off on me at 9:30 in the morning. I put the phone down on the table and could hear your voice on the phone in an aggravated tone when I picked up the phone again and tried saying something you cut me off. Clearly there was no having a 2 way conversation so I hung up instead of listening to you accusing me of lying etc. Should I have stayed on the phone and got yelled at again by you after your staff and manager already got the chance to yell at me? Would that have been better handling myself? No thanks I'll pass. Now you are saying I've been rude to grooming staff... if I was rude to grooming staff how come I took my dog there for about 4 years total always greeted by a smile and always had a pleasant experience in and out. I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with them and never doubted she was in good hands. My experience with boarding staff was a whole different story which brought me to post this honest review. Please stop trying to have the last word on here, you just prove that you're confrontational. If you are so concerned about your reputation do better and treat your customers better next time. Make sure to give everyone a report card and make sure your staff doesn't yell at anyone going forward. read more

DO NOT go here for grooming. I never thought that my cutie can get such an ugly haircut. There is literally no skills at all. They razored her to almost bald, leaving uneven fur barely covers her pink skin. And the neck is shaved so much which makes my babe look like a hammer??? Even I myself can do this better. Will never return. EVER! read more

The grooming services here are the best and the only place I will take my dog. Rose and Eve take great care of our older dog and treat her with nothing but love. My dog is a Sheltie, so there's always a lot of work that needs to be done, and Eve makes her look great!! We appreciate the whole team and how they care for their customers. read more

My pup was a pandemic dog she just turned two! when I heard about Tail Waggerz I immediately fell in love with the compassion, love and energy they gave Lola even before she stepped foot into the daycare. Over the phone I was reassured that my pup would always be loved and safe by them. In person they prove this to me daily x100000. They treat Lola as if she is their own dog and always do what is best for her. I never have to worry about her when I am at work and can focus on what I need to do knowing how happy she is. We love you Tail Waggerz. read more

Great place. Our two small dogs (Maltese and a mini schnauzer/poodle) love going, come home happy and their grooming services are fantastic! The staff is friendly, helpful and clearly love animals. I don't think twice about how my doggies are doing when we board them there. This place was a great find for us!! read more

Tail Waggerz Pet Care - Two happy Tail Waggerz customers:) - Pet Sitting Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

Although the people that run Tail Waggerz are very nice, I do not recommend Tail Waggerz to care for your dog - unless you have a pit bull! I had taken my dog, a very submissive golden retriever, to Tail Waggerz for a couple of weeks last year. On her last day at Tail Waggerz, I picked her up and drove her home. I didn't notice it until I got home and was petting her - but I noticed she had some swelling on her snout. Then, I rubbed her nose and there was blood. Upon closer inspection, the swelling was actually a large scratch (bite or claw). I could not believe that no one at Tail Waggerz said anything to me. If they had, I might have understood that dogs will be dogs - but I told them my dog is submissive and she will cower instead of stand-up for herself. I realized this was not a good fit for my dog - as I know they accept more aggressive dogs. Happily, we have found another facility, Crate Escape in Belmont, that has sweet dogs and a fabulous attentive staff. I feel much better taking our dog there - even though it is a 1/2 hour (round trip) out of my way. read more

I feel bad having to downgrade my rating, but a few things have happened in the past few months that make it hard for me to keep the 5-star rating. I've taken both dogs to be boarded here for a few days at a time, and both times both dogs came back very sick - one with a cough and the other with some sort of infection that had him out of commission for a few days. Further, one of my dogs had awful scabbing under his neck - clearly from a bite. It had been there a few days by the time we picked him up. I called to ask what may have happened, if anyone noticed or provided him any care - they had no record of it at all. Disappointing to say the least. We won't bring our dogs there anymore, but we do still have a lot of friends who love it with no issues, which is why I'm giving the 3 star rating. read more

Prior to Tail Waggerz I was taking my dog to another doggy daycare place. Turned out that wasn't a great fit. I've taken my dog to Tail Waggerz maybe 10 times already and it's been great. The people are cool and they have 2 distinct advantages over other places: 1) They are open 7 days a week. 2) They do on site boarding (there's actually a bed in their office). They also seem to have a much more manageable employee to dog ratio so I think the dogs get better care. read more

I have never ever written a bad review for any business, ever. I try to only write about positive experiences. And I debated whether to write this review. I'm not one to air my dirty laundry in public. But, this past summer we picked up our dog, Benji, at Tail Waggerz after being there for a week. We immediately noticed he was in great pain, he couldn't open his eye and it was secreting pus. We took him directly to Blue Pearl Animal Hospital. Benji is an older dog, 14. So, it would not have been a surprise if something had happened to him while we were gone. My complaint is not about his injury/medical condition. It may have just happened suddenly. My concern and what I want other people to know is that the people who were caring for him did not notice the extreme pain he was in or the injury to his eye. And when I spoke to Robyn (I ended up hanging up, as it was not going to be a productive conversation) her only concern was to defend her employees and told me that they are not a medical office. I took that to mean that they are not qualified to assess whether a dog in their care is in pain or has stuff oozing from his eyes / can't use his eye. If they are not able to make such an assessment, I would guess that they should not care for any dog who might get sick in their care. I guess that could be any dog. She wanted to have the last word. So, she left a voice mail and stated, "it's not unreasonable for our staff to not notice that he has something wrong with his eye when his eyes are closed the entire time." My main points in writing this are twofold. One is, if you board your dog, there, don't expect them to carefully watch your dog for any injuries. I guess that's not what they do. Also, having disputes over services and payments is just part of business. And each business should have a respectful proper protocol on how to handle these disputes. Apparently, they do not have such a process. You should not try to handle any disagreements with them on your own. They will harass you. Even to the point, as Joe did in his voicemail, to mock me and laugh about my profession. I have no idea what that has to do with our disagreement over payment. But it does speak volumes about their inability to handle customer complaints. If you are 100% satisfied with their service, you should be fine. But, be very, very wary if you need to approach them with any complaints. I left a voicemail, asking them to stop calling. But her brother, Joe, not only left another voicemail, but tried to reach out to me via FB Messenger. He threatened to tell other grooming businesses in the area not to do business with us. And he called me rude for having an older dog with health concerns. I ended up reaching out to the Cambridge police because I felt so bullied. And, because of their negligence and the way they handled this, I also filed a claim in small claims courts. It's not about the money! They have an obligation, according to the agreement I signed, to notify me of any injury or illness. They did not... Then, if they erred, they have an obligation to handle it respectfully. They did not... I originally posted this when it happened. Robyn posted such a nasty response I took it down. But I needed to repost in hopes they might reconsider how they respond to dissatisfied customers going forward. One can only hope. read more

We love Tail Waggerz and would recommend them to everyone! My dog, Penny, loves going for daycare a few times a week. They are always posting pictures on their Facebook page so I can see Penny is having a blast when she is there! We have also boarded here multiple times and have never once worried about Penny since we know she is in great hands while we are gone. She comes home and sleeps for hours so I know that she has a had a great time playing while we were away. The staff is friendly and attentive and the prices are competitive. We can't say enough good things about Tail Waggerz - we would be lost without them! read more

New to the area, I was dying to find a daycare place for my pups that was similar to what we had in California. A large indoor place for the dogs to run ragged in with friendly and easy going managers who have the dogs' best interest at heart! Well, I finally found that with Tail Waggerz! There price beats other daycare facilities in the area (much appreciated) and their flexible drop off policy (no appt needed) is great! Can't wait to send my dogs back again and again. Recommended. read more

Competitive prices, very friendly staff and owners, and my dog loves going there! Bilbo has stayed here a few times and he's always excited to get inside. That's a clear sign he enjoys being there. Robyn (one of the owners) has always been there at the end of the day and that's another plus when the owner is there to actually run and manage the business. It offers indoor and outdoor areas. The dogs don't stay in cages at all, which is the biggest selling point for me. This way the dogs get to socialize. They all show great care for dogs and, at the end of the day, that's the most important thing any responsible dog owner looks for in a boarding place. read more

I brought my 6 year old Havanese, Frank, to be groomed here recently. I was very happy with the whole experience. The woman who made the appointment and greeted us (Donna) was tremendously nice and very helpful. The groomer came out and chatted with me about how I wanted my dog's hair to be cut. When Frank was done (only about 2.5 hours after drop off) Donna gave me a call and I picked Frank up. Frank was cheerfully running around with some of the other dogs when I arrived. He looked great and did not seem stressed out at all. The space was bright, airy, and clean. I would highly recommend grooming at this shop! read more

My shaggy little hound hates being groomed, but I have to do it in the summer otherwise he gets really hot, and his luscious hair collects leaves, twigs, and other foliage. He hates grooming so much that previous groomers have told me they had to use a muzzle on him. Obviously this disturbed me not only because my dog was nipping at all, but more so because this told me he was in a situation where he felt he needed to nip. In any other situation he's the sweetest dog, to anyone he meets, and this would never happen except when a big dog is really messing with him, for example. So, I've been to 5 different groomers over the last 5 years for his yearly summer haircut, and all said he was difficult. And he always came back looking like he'd just been through something not great. Until today with Jen. Not only did he come out looking handsome and exactly as I had asked Jen to cut his 4+ inch fuzzy hair ( to less than an inch!), but he was happy! She was obviously a huge dog lover, and she said he was perfectly well behaved and no muzzle needed. That's the dog I know! I credit her for being gentle and not rushing, and likely giving him lots of love. On top of that, the whole process was really fast, which is great because so often a groomer will just stash a dog in a cage til they are ready. With Jen,I made an appointment, brought my pup in, she worked on him, and then called me when he was done. He had a treat when I arrived to get him. Perfect! And very affordable prices. I highly recommend that you come here to groom your dogs, even if it is out of your way. read more
